As if former Vice President Dick Cheney is ever anything but candid. That’s just the media’s way of now swooning over Dick Cheney, a man members of the media demonized for years. Their unhinged hatred of Sarah Palin over-rides all that, you see.

“The test to get on that small list has to be, ‘Is this person capable of being president of the United States?,” he said, adding that Palin had failed to meet that qualification.

“I like Gov. Palin. I’ve met her. I know her. She – attractive candidate. But based on her background, she’d only been governor for, what, two years. I don’t think she passed that test…of being ready to take over. And I think that was a mistake,” he said.
Cheney said he had spoken with Romney and Beth Myers, the campaign adviser heading the search for the vice presidential pick but would not publically share his advice.

Why? Did he recommend himself again? Or Jeb Bush? Yet, he chose to share his views on McCain’s VP pick. Conservative Twitter users aren’t pleased with Mr. Cheney’s remarks.

At least Mr. Cheney didn’t further the horrible “she’s too damaged” narrative. It is incredibly harmful when the GOP eats its own that way; saying that Sarah Palin is “too damaged” by the media and attacks from the Left does nothing but encourage such systematic misogyny. You are basically letting them know to keep doing it, because it works. Conservatives should defend conservative women from such vile attacks, not encourage them.

Still, the Left is pouncing on this and will continue to do so. Be wary of giving them what they want, folks, even if Dick Cheney is encouraging it himself with his unnecessary and out of touch remarks.
